Zwift Chat

TDZ B course this morning Innsbrook twice up the climb, bit of a mechanical up first time and loads passed me, but it was fun passing them back, just under the hour on the screen but over the hour on Zwift Power, don't know why there is a difference.

ZP records your movement, Zwift records when you pass the start line

I had a weight-reduction movement this afternoon. I didn't realise ZP was watching that closely

Thanks chaps. I think I've downloaded and installed the Driver. Will report back after next attempted use of ANT+ today or tomorrow.

Yep, that worked. Cheers.

Only reason I knew was I had same problem with my new PC, a bit of searching the web revealed ant+ option for download

Bugger, I’d thought that my Sterzo was just not working because the AAAs had run flat, but I put brand new Duracells in yesterday and it’s completely unresponsive. The Elite Upgrado app is absolute cack and won’t let me log in, even with a password reset. I’ve messaged support but I’m not hopeful….

Yesterday, I did a TdZ stage and was much more aware than usual of the other members of my little group of droppees using steering to try to get an advantage (I dropped a 600m wattbomb and won the sprint for 23rd in the non-race, though, so who’s laughing now? 🤣)

My lack of faith was misplaced - Andrea from Elite has been in touch and I'm already back into the app.

I got this email from him today, which is promising:

Fast n flat this morning. Hoping just to stay near the front and get top 25%

Pleased with that, race score crept up a little too.

Well done Andy! I have't done a race in a while but I might try this Flat is Fast race myself later - I think the time that suits me best is going to be a "Range 1" ZRS banding which puts me in the "A" Cat which means my target will be no more than staying with the front pack - and that in itself should be a good, hard workout if I manage it!

I'm going to have a go at the Zwift Epic race tomorrow 10am. Looks fun with 5 VO2max climbs and 54km
Shisa Shakedown - not done that one before, but I like to do a longer race on a Sunday and haven't done it for about a month.
I've done the short TdZ ride three times this week. Good fun. I think of them as an unstructured race.

I’m trying to do all of the TDZ stages at least once but the event timings are not very convenient for me (being on-the-hour, getting one done before breakfast really means getting up before 5am, which is daft. I have left it very late this week so I’m down to do La Reine tomorrow. I spent a fair bit of this morning trying (and, so far, not yet succeeding) to dig up a large quince bush that Mrs Legs wants moving, so I might be feeling a bit stiff…

I'm not sure which I'd prefer to do. The Quince bush or La Reine?
I think I'll make it easy on myself and go for "neither"
Mind you this race tomorrow looks like it might be a bit rough.
